Family bike tour - Augustine was very personable and had so many interesting facts and stories. We had a small group of mixed ages and he managed to adapt it for all. It never felt rushed and the 4 hours flew by. Would highly recommend for a great way to see the city 😊

A great way to see the highlights of Barcelona! - A truly spectacular way to gain an understanding of Barcelona on our first day. The weather was perfect for March and Agustin our bike guide was absolutely amazing. A great way to see the city for a family of four with time to stop for pictures and understand the history of the city.

If you only do one thing in Barcelona, make it the Steel Donkey bike tour - If you only do one thing in Barcelona, make it the Steel Donkey bike tour and ask for Agustin. We had a fantastic half day exploring sights of the city, some of the major locations but - more fun - some of the off the beaten track places to explore. Agustin was a brilliant guide, always sharing local knowledge and insight and happy to answer questions. This tour is a must-do! (PS Bikes very comfortable, easy to ride, tour is flat and not physically challenging).

Fun tour and bikes - We got to see some parts of Barcelona we would have never reached without the tour. Our guide, Agustin, was marvelous - kept a good pace, was very knowledgeable about Barcelona and our stops, and was fun to spend the day with! It’s great to spend time with someone who really appreciates their city. Thank you!! Bikes were in great shape. Highly recommend.

Ehh. - I was looking for off the beaten path. But I wasn’t looking for boring. The highlight was the fountain in the park. A recommendation- if you are going to stop for tapas (which was not on the itinerary) make separate checks so that some clients don’t get stiffed by others. Sharing a check with strangers is awkward. In addition don’t make it so obvious that you are taking us to one of your friends restaurants.
